I have a few questions regarding AM-PM which i believe who are the person who could answer

1 - AM-PM ran by Jasbir Singh and Molinder Kang (Mel Kang) PD1083914 did Solihull Travel ran by Sukhvinder Kang PD1097942 operate at he same time or were part of the same compamy.

2 - I have in my notes Solihull Travel running the following vehicles T194 CLO,T201 CLO and T51 KLD is this correct.Note T201 CLO dind't operate with AM-PM.

3 - I have in my notes N952 KBJ Volvo Olympian ex Chambers,Bures with AM-PM is this correct or PSVC news sheet error.

It seems that when AM-PM went into administration in May 2011 and licence revoked in October 2011 that Mel Kang was named as transport manager on BHAM TRAVEL ran by Daljit Bhatti which refused operators licence in November 2011.

I would like to thank you Tony for contiuing work in your photo site and the time and effort you have put in. I await with interest anymore updates.
